Xue Xiang found a corner at the intersection of Yangliu Street, parked his motorcycle, and carried three newly placed blue and white porcelain altars with three peppers, and walked straight to the corner in the northwest direction. As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a sentry in the distance, and it was expected that after the sentry was the plum garden.

"Comrade, help me call Guan Chunlei." Xue Xiangxing approached, and without waiting for the guards and soldiers who came up to greet him, he opened his mouth first. When he arrived at Demei Garden, he was called Guan Chunlei, which was mentioned by Xue Anyuan in advance.

The guard soldiers looked at Xue Xiang, who was wearing a tweed army coat in front of him, and was stunned for a while, Guan Chunlei was his immediate boss and direct leader, but everyone who came here came to visit the elder, and no one ever opened his mouth to find Captain Guan.

Hearing Xue Xiangdao's intention, the guard soldier made a gesture to the rear post, and said a few words to the intercom, and before long, the gate of the plum garden opened, and a big man stepped out.

"Who is looking for Lao Tzu, it's so fresh, I've been locked up in the plum garden for more than ten years, and it's the first time someone has come to see me." Guan Chunlei has a red face, an inverted halberd beard, a strong physique, a tall figure, and it is difficult to tell the age from a distance. Before the man approached, a thunderous voice came, and such a power was as good as his name.

"Uncle Guan, happy new year, I'm Xue Anyuan's nephew, Xue Xiang." Xue Anyuan introduced the basic situation of Guan Chunlei to Xue Xiang yesterday, and Xue Xiang knew that he was fifty-two this year, five years younger than his uncle, and much older than his father.

"Xue-An-Yuan! Are you really....old company....long nephew? When Guan Chunlei heard Xue Anyuan's three words, he rushed to the front of him, pulled Xue Xiang's collar and asked, his words full of disbelief.

It's no wonder that Guan Chunlei is so out of shape, the old man has ups and downs, and he can finally take refuge in the plum garden, but the old company commander has never been heard from again. Guan Chunlei, as the old man who did not survive much in the old guard company of the 229th Division that year, how can his feelings for the old company commander Xue Anyuan be expressed in words? It was a life-and-death friend who blocked bullets for the other party and exchanged his life for his life in the rain of bullets and bullets, blood and fire, and a brother who rushed to destroy the enemy's machine gun position with a ** bag. Xue Anyuan has been in for almost six years, and due to the zz climate at that time, Guan Chunlei has never dared to visit. It's not that Guan Chunlei himself is afraid of being implicated, he is afraid that he will affect Xue Anyuan and the elder. At this moment, I heard that the person who came was actually the nephew of the old company commander, and Guan Chunlei couldn't hold back his excitement.

Over the years, he has been so detained that he has not even taken care of the family of the old company commander, and he is still the heavy righteousness of the old guard company. The child came over today, he must have encountered some trouble, this time is different from the past, and he doesn't look at who is coming from the plum garden today! Even if there is a big thing, I must ask the elder to do it for this child. Guan Chuntou first gave Xue Xiang what he wanted to do in his heart, and determined his nature.

Xue Xiang held three blue and white porcelain altars strung with fine hemp rope in his left hand, and although his right hand was free, he did not have the big hand that Chunlei stretched out to grab his collar. Guan Chunlei's voice fell, Xue Xiang did not answer, but reached into his waist and took out a gun, which was the Wang Ba box that Xue Anyuan confessed.

Guan Chunlei let go of Xue Xiang's collar, copied the Japanese-made Southern Type 14 pistol, and rubbed his hands carefully, and suddenly, tears rolled out of his eyes. Guan Chunlei didn't know this pistol, this was the old chief's gun back then, speaking of this gun, he owed the old company commander a life!

That was thirty-four years ago. It was forty-two years, during the anti-sweep, the old chief received a notice from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to go to a meeting, and the headquarters of the 229th Division arranged for Xue Anyuan, the commander of the guard company, and Guan Chunlei, a guard soldier, to escort them along the way. At that time, the division headquarters was more than 100 miles away from the headquarters, and it had to pass through the devil-occupied area along the way. Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei escorted the elder day and night, picking the trail as much as possible, and the journey was smooth, but when they crossed the mountain beam near Zhengtai Road, something went wrong.

At that time, it happened that a special force of the devils, the "Special Advance Killing Squad", made a surprise attack on the headquarters of Taihang Mountain, and was defeated, and Xue Anyuan and the three of them encountered the remnants of the second squadron of the "Mashiko Advance Team" disguised as our army's advance team. This Mashiko Advance Team specializes in disguised as our army, and all members of the team can speak fluent Chinese, specializing in assassinating high-ranking party and government cadres of our army.

At that time, the sky was slightly bright, and the two sides met in Erdaogang, Guan Chunlei saw that the other party was wearing the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army, thinking that it was his own person, so he greeted him from afar. The captain of the Mashiko Advancement Team, Shigeo Mashiko, pretended to respond, and beckoned his subordinates to shake the flashlight over, and when he saw the old man's face clearly, Shigeo Mashiko immediately took out a photo from his pocket to compare. It turned out that the photos of the senior leaders of our army were all collected by the members of the "Mashiko Stand Up Team", ready to assassinate at any time.

When Xue Anyuan saw that the other party actually took out a photo, he immediately understood that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly grabbed Guan Chunlei, who was about to rush out of the hill and go over to respond, to protect the elder and hide. At this time, Mashiko Shigeo also recognized the elder from the photo, where was he willing to miss this important brain of the Eighth Route Army, and seeing that the other party seemed to be suspicious, he immediately beckoned seven or eight of his subordinates around him to launch a strong attack. As a result, the two sides exchanged fires across a dirt slope.

In less than five minutes of the firefight, Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei felt that those devils were extraordinary, the other party actually used a submachine gun to shoot a point, and the accuracy was abnormal, if it wasn't for the dimness of the sky and the obstruction of vision, the two of them would have been reimbursed. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Mashiko Chongxiong actually led seven or eight of his men to charge, but Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei knew that this was dangerous, and each of them brought five or six melon grenades, relying on these powerful grenades, to beat the devil's charge.

Although Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei blocked the first wave of impact, they failed to retreat in the end, Xue Anyuan was shot in the left arm, and Guan Chunlei was knocked off the military cap. Xue Anyuan knew that if he continued like this, it would be bad sooner or later, and the bullets of the two of them had run out at this time, and only three grenades were left to deter the devil who didn't know what was going on. At that moment, Xue Anyuan ordered Guan Chunlei to protect the elder to retreat first, and he broke the rear, but the elder and Guan Chunlei categorically refused. At that time, the elder drew out the pistol in his waist - a Japanese-made Southern 14 type, and he had to fight side by side with the two guards. But the elder is purely a political cadre, where will there be a war. Xue Anyuan rolled on his side, rolled to the front, snatched the Wang Ba box in the old chief's hand, pressed against his temple, threatened with death, and asked the old chief and Guan Chunlei to withdraw first, and he came to block the enemy. Guan Chunlei had no choice but to drag the angry old man to retreat.

Mashiko Shigeo also showed the movement over there, this time the "stop team" failed in the surprise attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, if he could leave the big fish in front of him, his squadron would be wiped out and earned. Mashiko Chongxiong immediately led the remaining devils who could still move and rushed up with a roar, Xue Anyuan also recklessly charged at this time, and the Wang Ba box that he had snatched from the old man was no longer needed at the moment, so he inserted it into his waist upside down, picked up the remaining three grenades, pulled the lead ring in turn, and threw it out. Xue Anyuan did not choose to throw in a delay, it was precisely to create a gap for the elder and Guan Chunlei to jump off the second post in the shortest possible time. Due to the lack of delay, the three exploding grenades did not cause effective damage to several battle-hardened devils, and before long, Mashiko Shigeo led four devils to rush up again.

Xue Anyuan no longer charged recklessly this time, but bent down and took out the Wang Ba box and started a blockade. Besides, at this moment he was no longer able to charge, and when he threw three grenades, he took two more bullets, but fortunately he was not injured and could still support it. Xue Anyuan blocked the four devils for a few more minutes, at this time, the sky was dark, and it was expected that the elder and Guan Chunlei had escaped, and he was shot twice, thinking that his life could not be saved, and he did not want the corpse to fall into the hands of the devil, the weapon in his hand was seized by the devil, but the important text in the mezzanine of the clothes was taken by the devil, so it was a heavy loss. Thinking of this, Xue Anyuan rose up to fight bravely, struggled to get up, and ran wildly towards the south side of Erdaogang.

Here, there was a cliff, and Xue Anyuan was about to jump off when he was shot in the back. At this moment, he completely lost control of his body and fell straight into the cliff. Unexpectedly, his life should not be extinguished, there is a bay of waterhole under the cliff, which is a branch of the Xiaoshang River, and the pool is very deep. After Xue Anyuan fell into the pool, he was washed by the water to the depression downstream, and was rescued by the peasant woman who got up early to do laundry at the foot of Erdaogang. When the peasant woman saw what he was wearing, she knew that it was the Eighth Route Army, so she notified the local underground party. Then, Xue Anyuan was sent to the rear hospital several times before he was rescued. In this battle, Xue Anyuan was shot seven times, but fortunately he missed the vital point, but due to the delay in treatment, the wound had become infected and suppurated, and he was sent to the rear general hospital for a whole night of surgery.

In this heavy blow, Xue Anyuan spent more than half a year before he would recover and return to the army. After returning to the team, Xue Anyuan wanted to return the Wang Ba box to the elder, but the elder refused, saying that it was given to Xue Anyuan, so that he could kill the enemy on his behalf and kill a few more devils. Since then, Xue Anyuan has been out of the combat unit, fighting all the way to the south and the north, and the east and the west, and under the care of the old man, he has risen step by step. Since then, Guan Chunlei has been the elder's personal guard, and for decades, he has never changed his position and never encountered a war again. It can be said that the Erdaogang encounter that night was the most dangerous battle in Guan Chunlei's life, because he remembered this Wang Ba box very clearly, not to mention, the lower left corner of the handle of the Wang Ba box was also engraved with the word "Nan" of the old man's surname, so Guan Chunlei recognized this gun when he saw it. Xue Anyuan handed over this gun to Xue Xiang to the Plum Garden, not to remind the elder and Guan Chunlei to forget the grace of saving his life that day, but to give Xue Xiang a pass. Otherwise, how can a person casually enter the plum garden and see the elder?

Guan Chunlei held the Wang Ba box tightly, his tiger eyes were red, and he was very curious to see the guards and soldiers around him who had not retreated. What kind of temperament does Guan Cannon, who doesn't know the guards in the plum garden, it is a windward station that freezes to death, starving to death and standing on his stomach, who has ever seen him shed tears?

Tie Han's tears hurt the most, and the guards couldn't bear to see it, so they took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Guan Chunlei to let him wipe his tears. The actions of the guard soldiers completely pulled Guan Chunlei back from his distant memories, and he shed tears in front of the two juniors, which made Guan Chunlei's old face red, and he couldn't get off the stage. Unexpectedly, Guan Chunlei is quite like Zhang Fei's temperament, thick and fine, as soon as his brain turned, he had an idea, took the handkerchief generously, wiped his forehead, and said: "You kid is clever enough, how do you know that I'm hot?" ”

Xue Xiang and the guard soldiers, who were standing on the side, heard this, the black lines on their foreheads rose straight up, and they all looked up at the sky, and said in their hearts: Could it be that what is flying in the sky is not snowflakes, but cotton?

ps: The "Advance Killing Squad" and the "Mashiko Advance Squad" disguised as our army are not Jiangnan fabrications, they are indeed true in history. Interspersed with the Erdaogang encounter, it is not that Jiangnan is off topic and injected water, but it is really without this section, how to show the friendship between Xue Anyuan and the elder? After all, there are many soldiers who have been guarded for a long time.
